Hello, I have a timeshare @ Summerbay in Orlando Florida and wanting to sell my unit of 2 bedroom and 2 baths. Global Getaway Services contacted us thru phoned which were puzzled of how they got our number and told us that they have a buyer for our property. The buyer contacted us explained that she had look 3 units and pick us since we are also selling the remaining points of 66,500.00 we have banked. Global Getaway told us that the buyer is willing to place a bid for $17,000.00 for the unit and $2,000.00 for the points and I need to send them $1,997.00 for the processing to bring it to close the deal. I am very skeptical and don't want to fall into this type of scam and please help. See below I attached the actual e-mail from the company. Good Afternoon Jennifer: 12/9/2010 Our guarantee to you as the buyer ***100% MONEY BACK***. ***** NO RISK TO YOU***** Buyer: Do you Realize how much money you can save if you buy on the secondary market? Well here is an example: If you buy at any resort tour you will usually pay between 15% to 22.49.% and pay higher maintenance fees.
